This text delves into the revival of intellectual, moral, and civic virtues in the practice and teaching of science, posing a significant challenge to the professionalization of science. It questions the notion of scientific knowledge as objective and highlights the interconnectedness between democracy and science. Authored by a diverse group of experts in science, history of science, education, and philosophy, the text establishes the historical relationship between natural philosophy and the Aristotelian virtues. It then explores the challenges posed by the professionalization of science, including the emergence and dominance of scientific expertise.

The chapters in this work illustrate how virtues are essential in understanding the values and limitations of science and its role in shaping democratic engagement. They explore the relationship between virtues and citizenship, technology, and politics, showcasing how virtues guide the interpretation and application of scientific knowledge. The text also demonstrates how the guiding virtues of scientific inquiry can be effectively communicated in the classroom, benefiting individuals and society as a whole.

This book is of immense value to scholars in the fields of Philosophy of Science, Ethics and Philosophy of Education, as well as Science Education. It provides valuable insights into the revival of intellectual, moral, and civic virtues in science and their implications for the broader society.
